Daniel 12:5-13

5 Then I looked, I myself, Daniel, and look, there were two others standing: {one on this bank of the stream and one on the other}.
6 Then he said to the man [who] was clothed in linen who [was] above the water of the stream, "{How long until} the end of the wonders?"
7 And I heard the man [who] was clothed in linen who [was] above the water of the stream, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and he swore {by the one who lives forever} that [an] appointed time, appointed times, and half [an appointed time] [would pass] when [the] shattering of {the power of the holy people} {would be completed}; [then] all these things will be accomplished.
